The IHRA Summit Series Pro-Am concluded on Sunday with another complete race program following one round of time trials and qualifications. It would be another scorcher in the central Texas sun as drivers in the 10 Pro-Am classes fought it out on the ¼ mile strip near San Antonio.

With only one time trial/qualification run, first round saw track temperatures only around 120. By the time final rounds began kicking off it had risen to 140, with it topping out at 150 for the final few races.
